Question 20(Pls Help I will give Brainliest)
Based on the diagram below, which statement best describes the impact of the substitution mutation shown on the production of the protein hemoglobin?

1Points

A
The mutation will have no impact on the production of hemoglobin.

B
The mutation will cause the organism to produce extra copies of normal hemoglobin.

C
The mutation will cause the organism to stop producing hemoglobin.

D
The mutation will cause the organism to produce hemoglobin proteins that clump together.

Answer 1

The answer is; D

The change of amino acid from glutamate to valine changes the properties of the hemoglobin protein. The change of amino acid changes structure of the folding of the protein. This, therefore, interferes with the function of the protein.
